Ivan Ellen takes over the tow from the Lizard lifeboat Sarah.

Cox Patch Harvey amd the boys aboard the Penlee Lifeboat, Ivan Ellen were also out on a Saturday night shout when they went to assist with the rescue of the gill netter, Sparkling Line after she suffered engine failure off the Lizard. First on the scene was the Lizard boat, Rose - out on her first proper 'shout'. The Ivan Ellen picked up the tow from the Rose at 0200 on Sunday morning as a worsening forecast would have prevented her from getting safely on the slipway for retrieval at her home lifeboat station in Kilcobben Cove.
